Since it is 50 years since the first Matchbox kit came I decided to take pictures of them. Some of these will be incorporated to the regular homepage with more pictures |
| A model built out of the box for the 50'th anniversary. As I made some mistakes on it I decided to skip the rigging. |
| Out of the box but with different markings. |
| Different markings |
| Built out of the box but with correct placement of the decals. |
| I wonder if I took the decals from a Heller kit? |
| This one I built because I wanted a Kiwi plane. |
| Converted to a Swedish recce plane. |
| Converted to the single J 29D built. It was the prototype for the afterburner planes. |
| I think this kit was missing some things so I decided to make a genuine Sea Harrier. |
| This kit was bought cheap since it missed the decals. So, I added Norwegian markings to it. |
| This one was built just because it existed. |
| Converted to a Swedish ambulance helicopter |
| Model built out of the box. |
| Built as "Cuckoo". The British Panther. |
| A little model built out of the box. |
| Both variants in the box was built. |
